Violin
Violin, made with a two-piece spruce top, and maple back, ribs, neck and scroll. It has four ebony friction pegs (plus one extra) for four strings (now broken or missing; two gut strings broken). The French-style ebony tailpiece has a nickel-silver fine tuner for the E string. The nut and fingerboard are made of ebony as well. The bridge is missing. The chinrest is made of ebonite. The instrument is accompanied with two bows, probably made of Pernambuco wood. Both bows have an ebony frog with mother-of-pearl eye and inlay, ivory head-plate, nickel-silver ferrule and tightening screw button, and rubber grip.
